The Unparalleled Potential of Mo Bamba - Player Breakdown / Scouting Reel
Vložit
- čas přidán 22. 08. 2024
- Mohamed "Mo" Bamba is a thoughtful, surprisingly skilled and shockingly lanky 7’0” center from Harlem, New York. He spent his lone college year at Texas under Shaka Smart.
Honestly, "lanky" doesn’t really even cover it. You'd have to reach into the world of fiction to find length that’s comparable to the wingspan and reach that Bamba enjoys. He's an anomaly. He's filled with overwhelming potential. He's also one of the more volatile floor to ceiling propositions in the 2018 NBA Draft.

I do not own the footage used in this video. Its use is intended for the purposes of commentary only.
Never seen any of your videos before but I have to say, I'm impressed. Really nice voice, you have structure in the monologue, no clicbait bs, no unnecessary epilogues or stretching the ending, good in-sight, clearly stating opinions vs facts etc. Mucho bueno my man.
Jussi Rautiainen agree and subscribed 😊
And most importantly, no amino app ad!
Agree with the voice. ☕
Actually Bamba was averaging 4.5 blocks then he hurt his toe in the middle of the year and played about half as much as he was so if it wasn’t for that we’d be saying he was averaging almost 5 blocks a game 👀
Austin Edwards blocks in college are meaningless... Hasheem Thabeet did the same thing
I got hoooooooeeeeesssss
Rahual Mahju i was looking for this comment. Thank you 😂
@@Deuce_B Gotchu homie, I was fr looking for this comment because I was sure someone else had posted it already but I guess not lmao
Cringe
Callinnnnggggggggg
@@kawaiileonard I BE BALLIN LIKE A MOFO PRRRROOOOOOOOO
This guy is for sure gonna blow up with videos of this quality
How can you be taught to have a motor? simple, join the Boston Celtics.
Lol this comment hasn’t aged well
Colin Shea so this comment aged about as terrible as anything I've ever seen
@@personperson5041 u ever seen a crack head age?
This one isn’t lookin to good rn
Imagine him on the Mavs. They would have the player with the highest vertical in the league (Dennis Smith Jr.: 48in) And the player with the longest wingspan in the league. Lowkey very dangerous.
We Have the 5th pick. Hope the mavs get this guy. Imagine him getting dirk's fadeaway jumper. that would be an unstoppable shot. fadeaway with that reach
He's in the Mavs backyard. If he's there at 5 he's going to the Mavs. I think he pairs nicely with DSJ and he will immediately start and make there Defense way better. Nerlens Noel will be then be traded like he was going to be anyway. Makes perfect since to me.
Pio Pamintuan
it would be sick if they drew up a play where dirk does his fade away but really its an ally oop to Mo Bamba. *UNSTOPPABLE*
Yep. I want to see him here. If his mind is right, which it appears that it is, he can learn to be everything Dirk is, plus be a solid defender. It will take him about 2 seasons though.
crispy Dennis Smith doesn't have a 48 in vert
There are only 4 thins in CZcams:
1. Clickbait (Ali-A)
2. Dumb vlogs (Pauls)
3. Elsagate
4. This guy
4th is clearly the best.
Subscribed. Surprised to see such an all-around quality video (Sade instrumental in the background did not go unnoticed, atta boy) with only 1.4k subs on the channel. I'm guessing you're fairly new to CZcams and word just hasn't got around yet, but I suspect you're going to take off in size if you keep it up.
Coming back to this after 6 years is pretty funny
HOW HAVEN'T YOU BLOWN UP YET THE WAY YOU STRUCTURE YOUR VIDEOS IS PHENOMENAL AND NOT TO MENTION THE INNOVATIVE "COMP CLOUD"
You have liked almost every comment, this shows you are a nice bloke, and your opinion is broad, shows that you are open to changing your thoughts when one presents you with a better argument.
Unicorn potential. Honestly think he has the highest potential in the draft. I got Dallas grabbing him at 5th. He's in their back yard and they need a Center. His potential is just to high to fall out of the top five. At worst he's an elite shot blocker, if nothing else. And at best he's Rudy Gobert with a 3 ball. That's scary.
nah once he gets a strong body to put on these centers he gonna be a beast. i would trade ben simmons and a pick to get him tbh
Random Guy ....trade ben Simmons for a guy who's not as good as embiid..were you high
Nate S. 1 point Simmons can't shoot Simmons
Bamba shot 28% from 3 at Texas, so he;s not exactly an assassin from beyond the arc
Random Guy what do that even mean
Andre Drummond, DeAndre Jordan, and Hassan Whiteside all come to mind as guys with “motor issues” coming out of college. When these guys start competing for paychecks that can change.
Man Im loving this channel! The in depth analysis and the subtle humor in the clips have me tuned in.
Perfect timing when it comes to editing and clips, no bs facts or over exaggerations , and i can tell that you know what you are talking about. You just earned a subscriber.
Really happy someone's finally highlighting to the intelligence of these upcoming players and the implications it has on their success and ability to develop
Your videos are awesome. Just got another subscriber.
I know an Ayton and Doncic scouting videos are coming soon.
Love the attention to detail. Definitely should do a mock draft. I see your channel gaining momentum and you'll be at a million subscribers before you know it.
The quality of your videos is insane
This is one of the best channels I have seen in youtube, the videos are narrated clearly and the analyses are detailed yet interesting. This channel will get 100k subs in no time, and I will be proud to say that I was here before almost everyone else :)
Bamba's mentality, intelligence, and composure makes him seem like a guy that CAN'T bust. He won't have Michael Beasley syndrome.
Omar Khan Exactly. Defense is too good to be a bust and IQ is there at 19 years old. He still has years to develop and is arguably already elite at shot blocking. Dude is gonna be another NBA Unicorn imo.
Omar Khan just needs more body development and HOPEFULLY doesn’t get injured early on
Bamba is an analyst, not a player. Smart and weak = he'll be wearing suits and speaking into mics during games.
Michael beasley is very underrated. Great player
@Simon *Was in college, but off-court distractions including drugs killed his career unfortunately. He would have been one of the greatest players of all time if he had lived up to his flashes of potential we saw at Kansas State.
You are the best youtuber ive seen in a while. Good job man.
Dude the past couple of drafts have shown a whole new king of player, i love the future of the league
Like any skilled big man with length and supreme paint dominance potential, he NEEDS to be paired with an elite level playmaker, who will make his job significantly much easier while he develops his overall NBA body and game! Great analysis overall!!!
Creator On The Rise
You’re the type of channel I’ve been looking for. Actual breakdown. I swear u could be a real nba scout
The best scouting report videon I've seen all year.
Keep this up and you'll reach millions of view within a year.
he can lollygag in transition but i don't think you need to worry about his motor. conditioning is going to be hard when your that big, running the floor will come with an NBA trainer working with him. his half court defense is where you can see his motor is high. when he guards out on the perimeter he Ds up hard, gets low and doesn't let players by easy. he takes offense to anyone getting a bucket on him.
3.04 seconds three quarter court sprint in chicago, definitely has the ability to be a transitional monster
First ever watch. Excellent analysis. Dont comment much either, but this is well deserved. Excited to subscribe man
This dude's going to Chicago and I can't wait (as long as we dont fuck up and get Trae). Markennan the perfect stretch 4, and a beastly athletic defensive center. Nasty frontcourt, it's like if Mutumbo and Dirk played together
Bro your videos are actually good, good breakdown , good information. keep it up .
Your end statement was everything I was thinking. He is well worth the risk, because at the end of the day, you are basically getting a 9ft 3 center, who's not a straight dud. Get him in the weight room, get him with a good trainer, he'll blossom at something if he really wants it.
This is the first of your videos that I’ve seen and I was impressed by it. Great work
You really are the best scout I’ve ever heard always spot on
Well he's probably the only basketball scout on yt
When this man T poses, he can high-five a man on the other side of the world
Mo Bamba, already has a marketable name
Great videos. Some of the best scouting I've seen in CZcams. Your popularity will stay rise as long as you continue to scout more top prospects with the same great quality.
if i didn’t see what channel made this i would’ve thought it was a bleacher report video or something like that. Great work your videos are very professional
Pascal Siakam is someone who comes to mind when talking about learning motor/hustle. He’s naturally fast and athletic and defense was there but couldn’t stretch the defense and and couldn’t score in traffic so he realized that the only way he could get buckets is to sprint down the court full speed right after a offense inbound or mistake by the other team getting an easy layup and drawing a foul. I think Mo is gonna shape up to be like Siakam in terms of development his first year is gonna be a little rough but with every following year he’ll hopefully make leaps and bounds in his overall game.
Bamba and Ayton - one future defensive POY and one future MVP. Unreal draft.
Nice video man I especially love the intro. I find a lot of basketball youtube videos have annoying uninteresting and long intros to pump the vid length stat but yours was a good catch for the rest of the video 10/10 on that aspect of your grade I pass you in geometry
What a great channel, holy shit. So glad I found this in my recommended.
First video I've seen from you and this is some good stuff. Balanced and fair ... I like it.
This video is absolutely amazing! Hardcore NBA fan and i got to say that you nailed this.
I just got here and I'm already a fan. Straight up subscribed.
I still think Mo Bomba couldn’t have been drafted to a worst situation than the Magic in 2018. Like to see how things would play out with a different start
Nah DMC made all star teams and all nba with the Kangz so...
Excellent music choice with Sade. Great analysis as well.
This channel does so good at what it does. This channel deserve more subscribers
Soldeir of love playing in the background. This man is a genius lol.
Feature page baby!!!!!!
This channel will be huge in no time keep up the good work
Holy crap man your channel is so underrated. Keep up the good work bro
Please bring this series back.
I have your video on pause and I'm about 2 min in.. I gotta say man, your channel is SERIOUSLY underrated. Newest Sub!🙏🙏
Very well put together video! Really enjoyed and liked that you focused on what he exceeds at and also needs to improve on and even went more in depth to tell and show that he has the ability to be the best at those things he didn’t show in college. I agree as well and think he will be a top 3 pick and a very good nba player so long as he gets better in the post. Really really enjoyed!!👌🏻
Best combo of good analysis and voice
You should do a mock draft. Would love to see your take on it!
Really good breakdown. Finally some NBA draft content with intelligence. Hoping he goes to Dallas. Good high character kid, rooting for him.
If I'm the Hawks at number 3 with four picks in the top 33, I'm taking Bamba all day. You don't see this kind of player come around very often. No matter who the Hawks take they will be in the lottery for probably the next couple of years but next years draft and probably the next 10 drafts won't have anyone comparable to this guy.
Beat draft analysis out . Draft over and I’m still watching these
I like your stuff man. Your intake about about bamba really opened my eyes to him. He still is a major risk since he does have some major grey areas to fill with his game, but I could see him sliding to pick 5, I don’t know about 3.. but I guess we will have to wait and see what team wants to take a chance on him.
You are a breakdown genius, glad I’m subbed
I GOT HOOOOOOOOOES
Not nearly enough recognition for the work you put in. Keep it up🔥🔥🔥
I am die hard Chicago Bulls fan and Bamba is interested in joining our team, so I searched his name on youtube and here I am watching the most detailed video of his game so far. Thank you for your scouting reel, it is well done. And Congrat's! You have a new subscriber! #SEERED #GOBULLS
Yo I thought this channel would have like a million plus subscribers. Damn this channel underrated as fuckk
To everyone who is being blown away by Mo Bamba's recorded wingspan at the NBA combine, his 3/4 court time during private workouts, and the rave reviews he's gotten from specialized training with a shooting coach: You would be wise to Google the name Mike Mamula and see if you find any similarities.
great video. you earned a new sub. IMO Mo Bamba will be the best player in this draft when it's all said and done.
Yes
Orlando homie!
Damn how did I JUST find this channel? You got yourself another sub, quality stuff man.
Also screw the CZcams algorithm
This channel is amazin
Magic Mo
The last dude to come out of Texas with a unique skillset for his body type won the last two finals mvps
The defensive potential alone is intriguing
Great content! I remembered Chris Boucher because of this video.
The first few lines you said in the video would help him reach his potential. He has got a very high IQ and probably a great makeup, so he is likely to know his own shortfalls, have the desire to make himself better and work on his weaknesses.
Bring this series back plz
That Shek Wes song about to blow up even more
that was a great video. best ive seen on rookie potential
there are a lot to like about Bamba, but there is just one thing i do not like, i can;t really describe, but when i watch some players i get this feeling, that any time, they could just break, Embid gives me this same feeling when i watch him, like he is fragile or something, i don;t know what exactly creates this feeling, the way they move and stand on their feet maybe, i feel like any minute the could just break in half. You can have canonball shoulders and brick like chest, but in basketball, every move you do starts and ends with your lower half, and if that lower half ain't strong enough, your wingspan is just gonna be decorative. Take iggy for example, he is(or was if you want) one of the best defenders because he combines all that upper half enormous strength, with enormous lower half strength. If Bamba wants to become an elite player or defender, in my opinion the most important part will be to really strengthen his lower half, so he can support whatever he is gonna build on that upper half. Just imagine boogie backing down Bamba in the post, he is just gonna snap his shoulder a bit towards him and Mo will go flying to the stands. But one thing is certain, his potential is fuckin scary.
I like this kid alot i believe he has alot of hidden talent beside what he showed at texas
awesome video man, keep up the great work. subscribed.
the concerns are basically get better equipped offensively and stronger. these are things that are a lot easier to change than a broken jump shot for example. Plus, as he was an intellect, now that he doesn't have to worry about going to class, studying etc, it's likely he can work on his game a lot more intensely. IMO if healthy, this could be something incredibly special.
You should do Michael Porter Jr vid these vids are fire🤟🏾
Where were u all tgis tym great video i like all the videos yuv made more plzzz . Subscribed
Found a new special basketball youtuber. Keep it up! Subscribed!
only watched 30 seconds and already subscribed !
He has great physical attributes and seems really smart. I’d for sure pick him in the top 5.
Love your content and insight on players ,
Keep it up !
Just subscribed! Keep up the good content. I love it
As a Mavs fan I've watched this video 3 times now
Subscribed and liked! This was a great breakdown!
Truly awesome content.
Great stuff man. Keep it up. Earned another subscriber here as well.
Great breakdown! If he fails, he could be the next Shawn Bradley. The motor is really concerning but the high basketball IQ could make up for that. The DEFINITION of a lottery pick. (Oh, and subbed!)
just subscribed, great video. I really hope the Celtics move up to get this beast. Imagine him with tatum, brown, rozier, smart, and Ojeleye. That would be a crazy group of young talent that could grow together for years to come. That's not even mentioning irving, hayward, horford, baynes, morris. Celtics are gonna be competing with the 76ers for years, this guy going againt embiid consistently would make the rivalry even better. fingers crossed.
Imagine him on the knicks? Him at center and Kristaps at PF the post defense would almost be impossible to get by because of both of their wingspans and they also have a developing talent at the PG position with Frank Ntlinkina who is also a very talented defender. I could see the knicks with Bamba a top tier defensive team in the league if they draft him. Although i don’t see him falling that far down.
You have a nice voice, creator on the rise! ☕
Damn those long hands! Everytime I see him I am waiting for him to stretch his hands and go all Mister Fantastic.
